Best System Maintenance in Washington DC

I woke up to find no hot water when turning on the shower so went to check my water heater and found water puddling under and around my tank. The leak was slow but steady so after mopping up I started looking for plumbing companies and came across Reddick and Sons. After reading their reviews I gave them a call. Shontel came to my home introduced himself looked at my tank and explained what the problem was and how I needed to replace it.  He went over everything that needed to be done, the cost and time it would take. I agreed and he did the work, professionaly, efficiently, and neatly. My carpet in that basement was brand new and he went out of his way to protect it. I am greatful to Reddick for scheduling me same day with such short notice and to Shontel for saving what could have been a sure disaster. I highly recommend this company.

These guys are a lifesaver. Our AC went out on one of the hottest days of the year. I used Yelp to get quotes, and most of the companies didn't respond or couldn't come until later in the week. Drymount got back almost immediately and had a technician over within a hour. He quickly fixed the issue. Good price and quick service.

Received four quotes for three major home projects: A complete master bathroom remodel, a new deck, and replacement of a drop ceiling with sheetrock and repair of a water-damaged wall in a guest bedroom.
The first three quotes were from high end remodelers. A friend recommended Allen Geoffrey's Handyman Services to us (she had just had her bathroom remodeled). Geoff and his crew (Mark and Brian) came out to survey the jobs. They spent more time with me going over what work we wanted and what our major concerns were. They suggested a comprehensive plan of attack from top to bottom. We were consulted at every step of each of the projects to ensure that our expectations and design elements were incorporated.
Their price quote came in thousands (yes, thousands) of dollars less than the three previous quotes. While they don't provide the design assistance of the high end contractors, they met us at a big box contractor store and helped us color-coordinate our design interests. They took care of ordering all the various pieces parts needed and got us a significant discount on materials.
First, they replaced the deck to install flashing (that the previous home owner neglected to do), that led to the water damage in the guest bedroom. The deck was brought up to code and revealed serious problems with the previous deck installation.
After the deck was done, the crew split off into two teams, one working on the master bathroom, the other, working on the guest bedroom.
The crew took care of hauling off all old materials and cleaned up after each day. The work was first-rate.
As with any major home project, unexpected/unforeseen problems arise. While removing the water-damaged sheetrock in the guest bedroom, major water damage was discovered to the exterior wall. Geoff gave me a very reasonable labor estimate to repair the wall. That wall is now the strongest in the house.
They show up when expected, every day, until the job is done.  They go beyond what is expected to ensure that the client is happy with the direction the project is headed.
I highly recommend these master plumbers. I guess my highest endorsement is that, when our kitchen cabinets come in, Geoff and his crew will be doing our complete kitchen remodel (again, coming in thousands of dollars less than the high-end contractors). If you need any work done to your home, give them a call. They will not disappoint you.
And, Geoff, Mark, & Brian, our new master bathroom looks and functions beyond our expectations. Thank you!

If I can put minus I will put -5 stars.  They installed my brand new cooktop inappropriate.  After 3 times visitations,  they couldn't fix any troubles or find problem.  They explained to me that they did all they supposed to do.  However actually there are 5 wrong parts have been put.  VIA incorporate technician came to fix all of them.  After 1 & 1/2 months later my cooktop starts working.

Brendon was awesome. His crew did fantastic. We had window units before. No more of that crap. They install central heating and air. Did an amazing job. No issues so far. They worked Thursday, Friday, & Monday and then it was all done. Looks good feels a lot better in the house. I waited a couple weeks until posting a review just so I can tell if any issues would happen right after they installed and we used the system. And as I said No issues at all. Feels pretty good to my family and I. They did awesome! Thank you so much guys. 100% A+!
Oh and if you see photos of 2 spot where they cut in the bathroom. It's because there was a lack in communication on my family's side while I was at work. Brendon walked around telling them where he was going to cut and wanted them to double check and look. I guess my family forgot to check that room or something so his guys cut all the rectangles out and one being in front of the shower. I asked him to recut a hole between the toilet and the cabinet which they did with no issue. It looks better and works out better in between the cabinet and toilet because we want to remodel that bathroom anyways so it won't be in the way and I wasn't to upset about the tiles and all being cut. I'm just happy of the new location where I asked them to put it worked out.
Everything looks great and feels great.
Good job guys. Thanks again.

After a week of moving into a new house, we started getting a sink backup that left our kitchen useless. We brought in a plumber who snaked it, but after no improvement he recommended we get hydro jetting at a huge expense.

Instead, we called All American. Evelyn was fantastic on the phone. They sent a two-man crew. After a thorough diagnosis, they said they were confident they could snake the problem instead of jetting.

They didn't just run the snake, they worked the pipes with it until they cleared a huge clog. The sink runs perfectly! No jetting needed. Their skill saved us $600.

Great crew, very respectful, transparent, and wore thorough PPE.

I hope we don't have to call them again, but they're my go to now if we get a clog elsewhere.

Elite plumbing & Home service is a great company and my go to company for all my plumbing needs. Jeremy my plumber today took the time to answer all my questions and took the time to remove a rod that some neighborhood kid dropped into my pipe through a cracked cap. Trust me you will not find a more honest company that is not over priced.

I hired Zapata's HVAC Systems to remodel my first floor 1/2 bathroom. It was done very poorly. The paint job was sub-par. I had to hire another contractor to fix his work. The new contractor had to repair the walls and re-paint; repair mirror trim paint; paint the ceiling. In addition, I had to beg Mr. Zapata to take the old toilet that he left in my backyard. After a few weeks, he finally hauled the toilet away.

Moreover, I hired Mr. Zapata to install gutter guards in all my gutters. He did a poor job and left many misaligned and sticking up. Some of them blew off. Again, I had to hire another contractor to finish and fix his work.

Mr.Zapata said that I needed a new garbage disposal per my inspection report. I read the report afterwards and it did not say that. Beware as this contractor pushes to be paid via Zelle and Venmo. I found out that a previous customer filed a BBB complaint alleging unnecessary work performed and wanting to be paid via Venmo. In addition, like the other customer, he will not furnish invoices.

We were fortunate to find Ahoy and George was amazing.  We had a stoppage for the outside drain and we called Ahoy to come service and he came out to give a free estimate but his price was reasonable so we asked gone to do it. The stoppage was clear but unfortunately the design of the French pit that we had was slow drain and cause more flooding into our basement but not as much as before. We called Ahoy again  and he recommended installing a sump pump and again his price was reasonable. We haven't had flooding since. Then we had another plumbing issue with a leak from a bathroom. He diagnosed it thoroughly and identified the issues as a leaky roof and poor grouting on the floor.

Why we love the service we received?
1) free estimate
2) reasonable price
3) excellent communication and very quick to respond
4) very friendly service
5) prompt service

We had called George three times and all three occasions have been amazing.

I had my unit installed in Jan of 2020.  First, they flooded my living room because they failed to shut off the fridge line and then they did not have plumbers to fix the issue.  It took hours before they resolved the issue.  Second, since the installation of the unit, the condensation pump had to be replaced, the system continuously shuts down, and the unit is not removing moisture from the house.  This issue has been going on all year long and I have repeatedly complained and they continue to put a band-aid on the situation.  I change my filters regularly, I paid to have my air ducts cleaned as they stated that was probably the issue, and nothing has worked.  I have put requests for management to contact me and to no avail.  This is a health matter as bacteria continues to collect in the air and my house along with everything in it smells like mildew.  In addition, we have allergies to mold and mildew which makes it that much worse.  I would not recommend this company as they either do not care about the customer, or the individuals they have doing the work are incompetent.  I tend to believe that they don't care and are temporarily fixing the problem until my warranty runs out.  That's when they'll find and fix the issue and stick me with a large bill.  To clarify, only management has not been responsive.  I will give the company props on their customer service and tech responsiveness to an issue, just not with resolving it.

We were new to the area and had water from the upstairs bathroom come through to the first floor.  They were pleasant on the phone and came quickly and even emailed a coupon to use. The servicemen were clean, checked everything thoroughly and explained everything clearly. The price was lower than expected as well.  Now we know why all our neighbors recommend Heidler for all their plumbing needs.

Arrived as scheduled and the employee had a hard time finding the leak. Drained the valve box and couldnt find the leak.

He covered up and said if it continues to leak to call back and they will come back.  Wasted $100 for really nothing.

Didnt follow through and dig around the line where the leak was later found by another company about 6 inches on the main line.  

Wasted $100 for really nothing.

Edit:  Nugent and sons to the rescue once again!!! Basement all soppy wet, water heater ready to go, and they sent a plumber out today to get me sorted out.  Best company out there!!!

----I can't say enough about this wonderful family owned company.  They are always quick to respond and help out whenever I have a heating or cooling issue.  Their employees are incredibly professional and timely.  Their work is impeccable.  I'm so grateful to know I can count on them. Because you know your heating and cooling issues always occur at the most drastic times!  They will be there the day after you call! Or the same day if they can.  I've relied on them for over 15 years.  They never let me down.  Thank you!

They came early (after calling to check), they were neat and efficient.  They were fast and professional.   Very pleased.  They installed a kitchen faucet.

I am updating my review.  I called them for a new service issue recently.  In this service call I felt that while they did a good job they significantly overpriced the work based on the level of effort required.  I did raise my concerns with the plumber and the owner.   Unfortunately I was not able to get them to make what I felt was a fair adjustment. They are competent and do good work but in my opinion their pricing can be an issue.

Quick and efficient, no BS.  Showed up when he promised, told me the truth, and will be called again when I have HVAC needs.

Best service! Honest and expert knowledge! Willie came for our basement sewage pumping issue causing a flooded basement. I thought I'm going to need to change a new pumping which would cost $$$, but he found it's just the float being jammed and fixed it in seconds. Then he tested it and it works like a charm. Not only honest but he's smart and got expert knowledge and found the problem right away. Other company quoted me thousand dollars but cardinal fixed free! Amazing. I signed up for their membership too. Highly recommend. They also email/text you with picture when the technician is on the way. Super management!

Good service, knowledgeable plumber who comes just on time.He purchased the misding material.

I had a problem with my garbage disposal where the bottom was leaking. Called the Plumbing Dr. and they got someone out there right away. David came to my house in less than 45 minutes. There's a $69 diagnosis fee and after the diagnosis he went over the different types of replacements. He replaced the piping as well as the garbage disposal. I only consulted with one company but it's a little expensive ($669) in my opinion. David did a great job and was very nice. He was knowledgable and gave me some tips on how to maintain my sink. I was in a hurry to get my garbage disposal replaced but next time I'll shop around before committing to one place.

Pros:
-Very knowledgeable
-Fast turnaround time
-Quick response
-Good work
-Dave was awesome

Cons:
-Pricey
-Different options are not very clearly displayed such as differences between different options
-Not very clear and transparent

Please be cautious of this company.  This review is regarding replacement of faucet and hose for my kitchen sink.  I ordered the part from Moen and called Real Plumbers to install the part for back in November 2016.  I chose them over Michael & Son because of pricing and the fact that I have used this company in the past.  However, I stopped because they started charging for service call backs.  The plumber installed the new faucet, but shortly there after I noticed that it was leaking.  Real Plumbers sent out a new plumber who looked at the faucet (mind you Real Plumbers wanted to charge me for this visit even though they installed it).  A new plumber said that the part needed to reorder.  However, two weeks later another plumber came and said the faucet did not need to be replaced, just tightened; so he tightened.  May 2017, the faucet is leaking lots of work that I had to turn it off.  So I call Real Plumbers back, they will send someone but there will be a charge; REALLY.  I am reminded that I stopped using them for a reason, but I was giving them another chance. To charge me for a problem that I identified with a service call the first TWO times, and to charge me a THIRD time for defective service is unacceptable to me. I called Michael & Sons.

It took 3 calls and much wasted time going over the jobs I need  (they had to take notes to pass on to the plumber) before I could actually talk to a plumber. And not because he finally called me but because I decided to call one last time. Then I was told that they charge $89 for the 1st half hour to come and look and $75 per 1/2 hour after that. Seriously?
I'm surprised they are in business.
